    Fix: Cannot run Executables with parameters using PowerShell


    When running a command in-line PowerShell with parameters usually you would do this like & "ipconfig.exe /all". When you run it like that you will get the error saying that it is not recognized.

    & : The term 'ipconfig.exe /all' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    At line:1 char:3
    + & "ipconfig.exe /all"
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (ipconfig.exe /all:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

    This happens due to the fact that the parameters are causing this error. We need to split the parameters from the actual command by running them as below

    $Exec = "ipconfig.exe"
    $Parm = "/all"
    $Parm = $Parm.Split(" ")
    & "$Exec" $Parm

    Set Execution Policy in Powershell

    I set the Execution Policy in Powershell to unrestricted to run a couple of command lines and then set the policy back to restricted. Does setting the policy to unrestricted for a small period of time harm Windows 10? Does one have to set the policy back
    to restricted or does closing Powershell and relaunching Powershell put the policy back to restricted?

    Fix: Cannot run Executables with parameters using PowerShell

    Set Execution Policy in Powershell

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I will surely assist you with your query.

    The execution policy is part of the security strategy of Windows PowerShell. It determines whether you can load configuration files (including your Windows PowerShell profile) and run scripts, and it determines which scripts, if any, must be digitally signed
    before they will run.

    Please refer to the link below to know more about Set Execution policy.

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849812.aspx

    Hope the above information helps.

    Thank you.
